At the time I left land and sailed away
   Never knew I would end up a castaway
   Wind went hard and the sky had tears for me
   The sea was all that I saw, my enemy
  
   There are days that I wake up and strongly believe
   There are ways to escape, I myself might deceive
   In the bottles I've sent, I reached out for a hand
   But as sure as I'm here, they have never seen land
  
   [Chorus:]
   Castaway, your clouds are in the way of light
   I am stumbling blind
   Castaway, your thoughts, remembered by the prints
   That I left behind
  
   I know, but it's so hard to show
   Myself a way, to a better day
   I know that I am destined to live
   A life in memory, companion to my misery
  
   I've seen ships passing by, but they've never seen me
   And for each day that pass without being free
   I will moulder within with nothing to win
   I will gamble my soul to pay any toll
   Isolation I face every day, every night
   What is real what is not, I keep losing my sight
   Who's to care who's to not, I just never might know
   For the son God forgot, maybe someday, I hope someday they'll show
  
   I used to love the snow
   Can I reach it now
   Beyond my dreams somehow
   Only the stars look the same
   How I'd love to know their names
  
   [Chorus]
  
   I know, but it's so hard to show
   Myself a way, to a better day
   I know that I am destined to live
   Trapped by the sea, living in your memory
